"Perfidious French" - yes, but I hope that any French Catters will be equally appalled and indignant. And the English government definitely has very dirty hands when it comes to racist immigration policies. Bloody hands as well as dirty hands.

Whether emailing protests like this does any good, I don't know. But a friend was talking to a Labour MP about immigration and the way the Labour government has been pretty well as nasty in the way it talks about refugees asa the Tory opposition - and he was saying "but you should see my postbag" because the racists write in all right.

So it's important to correct the balance - somebody gets to see those emails, and some message about it may filter upstairs. It's not a question of playing games like flooding them with phony attachments and so forth. That just lets them off the hook.
